Army & Navy - Worldwide Air Freight

Biggest single war problem of the United Nations is transportation. The
problem was tough when the first Lend-Lease shipments made the
3,900-mile trip to Britain, got tougher when the supply lines stretched
5,000 miles to Russia and Africa, reached the limits of toughness when
the Far East blew up, 10,000 miles away. To serve all these routes
there is only a thin line of poky, fat-bellied ships-a line that gets
thinner as the routes get longer and enemy subs sock home their war
heads.
